If they can't put the past behind them, they won't have any future.
Mason Hayes has a problem. A big one. Surprisingly, it's not the death threats that have become increasingly serious since he turned his legacy Colorado cattle ranch into a wild horse sanctuary. No. It's far worse. It's torture in the form of one rugged cowboy turned personal bodyguard hired to be his shadow. A boy he loved now all grown-up gorgeous man. The one he's never been able to forget. Colt Stonebraker has a problem. Not only is he back at the ranch where his and his brothers' whole lives were upended, but now he's been hired to protect the same man who broke his young heart. With too many suspects out to get Mason, Colt won't turn his back on him-like Mason had done to him-but that doesn't mean he has to like it. Colt is there to do a job, and as soon as it's done, he's gone. So, what if being back at the ranch brings up all his youthful dreams and unwise temptation? It's not like he's going to fall for Mason again . . . right?
